Deadline: Ongoing
The Foulkes Foundation is a unique and highly respected medical charity. It brings science and medicine together for the benefit of mankind by giving maintenance grants to exceptional post-doctoral scientists wanting to study medicine.
The Foundation is family run with a “family” of Fellows and was excited to celebrate its 50th anniversary last year.
Finance Trustee Responsibilities
The Foundation is looking for someone to join the Board of Trustees as a second Finance Trustee. As well as a financial background, the Foundation is ideally looking for someone with experience in the medical or scientific field.
The Finance Trustees oversee and monitor the work of the Investment Manager (IM), attend quarterly online meetings with the IM and act as a liaison between the IM and the Board of Trustees. They have oversight of the Foundation’s costs and capital and use this information to guide the Trustees when appointing new Fellows each year.
The Finance Trustees attend two in-person Trustees Meetings a year in central London where they report back on the Investment Portfolio and the IM’s work.
The Finance Trustees are encouraged to be involved in all matters discussed and decisions taken by the Board (comprised of 9 Trustees), financial or otherwise.
